The Hans A. Hansen House is a historic house in Ephraim, Utah. It was built in 1862 by Hans A. Hansen, an immigrant from Denmark who converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and arrived in Utah in 1853.[2] Hansen had two wives: Annie, who had emigrated to the United States with him, and Mary Christiansen.[2] He built a second house in the Scandinavian style, but this house was designed in a Vernacular English, or "traditionally American", style, which is interpreted by Tom Carter of the Utah State Historical Society as Hansen's willingness to integrate in American society.[2] The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since October 22, 1980.[1]
